distance time & space have come between us;
stars uncrossed,
though i was too timid to reach out
back when we saw each other daily,
when i passed your house as a matter of course,
when the only distance we had to brave
was that of a few rows of desks,
when i was young & uniformed &
scared
of myself, of you,
& of the possibilities of that combination.

back in the present day,
i peer at your digital presence
from the corner of my eye,
curious if you do the same.

were there failed attempts at reconnecting

The Lazy Lineart Tutorialby *alaisiaga

OH GOD IT'S DONE.

...aaand it's kinda huge oops oh well lawl

This... was annoying to do. So many screenshots, and then finding out I didn't number them right, and arg arg arg.

Tell me if you find any typos. But anyway.

This does not cover advanced techniques; it would probably not teach much to people who know how to use digital art programs and make masterpieces from them. This is meant for someone who has literally no idea what to do with a scanned pencil sketch, and doesn't have the money for a tablet or expensive programs like Photoshop. Everything here is touchpad-drawn (my fingers are still thanking me for that), and done using only free software. Maybe it's not the best way, but it's a good place to start for beginners who have no digital art experience, at least.

And the result definitely looks shiny-- this is how I make all my lineart. Well, I sometimes trace with my tablet, but when I get twitchy, I go back to using a mouse.

This helped a lot but I got lost at the part 2 with the lines... I dont know if you are using a drap pad or what but is there a way to make the lines? Im stuck with a mouse pad and a mouse and I know my drawing will be sloppy if I try v . v... Sorry to bother. I'm using Gimp 2.0

Thanks for putting this up, it really helps!

~Nikrain Apr 25, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

I find this incredibly helpful. I've been experimenting with different ways to do lineart for a long time now and I'm not happy with any of the results. This seems very promising though

Thank you so much!

THIS SAVED MY LIFE NO JOKEE

~onyxrayne Oct 8, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

Just got Inkscape earlier today after hearing/reading so many ppl say that it's the best freeware for lineart. This tuto simplified this for me (before I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to figure this thing out.). Added to faves, and will recommend this to any friends using GIMP.

~Cayda May 12, 2011 Hobbyist Artist

Thanks so much for this! I've been looking for something to help me learn how to start doing more digital work.
